CALIFORNIA VEGGIE SANDWICH

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 ¼ cups water
1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Brown meat with onions and bell peppers, and season to taste. Add tomato paste and water. Let simmer.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix ricotta cheese with beaten egg. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 370 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Tips:

  • Use the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as a ciabatta or sourdough, will hold up well to the grilled vegetables and cheese.
  • Grill the vegetables properly: To get the best flavor and texture, grill the vegetables over medium-high heat until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A creamy cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, will melt well and add a delicious flavor to the sandwich.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich: If you pile on too many vegetables, the sandwich will be difficult to eat and the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately: The sandwich is best eaten hot off the grill, when the vegetables are still crispy and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

The grilled California veggie sandwich is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. The sandwich is also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a vegetarian or meat-eater, you are sure to enjoy this tasty sandwich.
